Sunlight, Not Suffocation, Still the Best Disinfectant
Bright, beautiful sunlight, i.e. the publication of ALL information, would allow each of us to make accurate choices and judgements...
Recently, at Spectator.org, Daniel J. Flynn shared these thoughts and more:
"Control of what we watch, read, and hear by a few unaccountable billionaires (rather than a market of 7.6 billion people) further breeds distrust, which breeds alternative, often irrational, explanations. Restricting information — think the decade-plus delay on network television airing the Zapruder film — results in speculation filling the void where concrete facts belong.
We need not fear ignorant ideas, only ignorant people. Prudent people can discern whether the government staged a school shooting, the lunar landing, or 9/11. Or, overbearing people can determine whether the rest of us possess the prudence to make judgments on these matters."
